The robber wore a bandanna over his face during the crime, but police released surveillance video of him without the mask.

Arlington police are looking for a purse snatcher who punched a woman last week outside The Parks mall.

The victim was unloading her trunk July 1 in the parking lot of the mall when the man grabbed her handbag, police said. She put up a fight and didn’t let go until the robber punched her.

The suspect is described as a black man in his late 20s, about 6 feet tall and 200 pounds. He was wearing a gray shirt with a purple design and camouflage pants, along with a black and white bandanna over his face. However, police released surveillance video of the suspect unmasked.

Anyone with information on his identity can call Crime Stoppers at 817-469-8477 or submit a tip at www.469TIPS.com.
